Abstract:
This thesis is about multi-period problems in which the decision-maker or players cannot see far enough ahead to solve the problem completely. The thesis considers why it might be that players reason forwards at all, let alone reasoning forwards only finitely far. It shows, using finite automata, that there is a class of problems for which forwards reasoning is more efficient than backwards reasoning. It goes on to use these finite automata to solve for an optimal foresight length. It then discusses solution concepts, and applies its preferred solution concept to two problems - one macro probl

Abstract:
21st Century Foresight offers a comprehensive study of ‘foresight’ as an instrument of policy. It covers the development of foresight methodology, the design of foresight activities and their evaluation. The thesis is based on eleven publications collectively making significant contributions to knowledge about global foresight practices and applications in different domains (i.e. research areas and socio-economic sectors). New conceptual frameworks developed include the Foresight Diamond, the SMART Futures Jigsaw and the Methods Combination Matrix (MCM), which can be used as tools for futures

Abstract:
To this point in time humanity has successfully responded to the challenges to its existence. A viewpoint becoming widespread is that humanity will have to respond to even greater challenges to its existence in the future. If adequate responses are not formulated to these emerging challenges then a dystopian future for humanity is a strong possibility. While experience can teach us how to act in the future it is the express intent of this research that we should not have to experience dystopia in order to learn how to prevent it. The innate human capacity for foresight has played a pivotal rol

The importance of the exploratory ‘front-end’ of strategy is well established in fields such as foresight and knowledge management. However, it has received little consideration by roadmapping practioners and researchers. This thesis addresses this gap in understanding. Given the lack of previous research in this area, a grounded theory methodology is adopted, whereby a number of key concepts are identified and developed to lay the foundations for further investigation. The first of these is the concept of exploratory roadmapping, for which a new theoretical basis is advanced by making connect

Before the First World War, various policy entrepreneurs unsuccessfully advocated productivist scientific afforestation in Britain.

Background: The traditional approach of strategy emphasizes the role of planning as a main driver for success. Thus, in an environment with a low propensity for change, managers are able to predict the market evolution and therefore allocate wisely their resources in order to optimize the company's actions. However, markets are substantially more dynamic and managers are faced with higher and more complex level of uncertainty. In such climates, anticipating and understanding change is becoming increasingly relevant and top companies are not just competing in the present, but also into the fut

The aim of this dissertation was to develop a novel behavioural method to assess young children’s capacity for episodic foresight. Specifically, I developed a marble game paradigm to assess whether 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children would save marbles for future enjoyment. Study 1 demonstrated that preschoolers will save more spontaneously when they can draw on a recent past experience compared to when the context is completely novel. Results from study 1 also suggest that preschoolers are sensitive to the relative value of future rewards. Study 2 revealed that providing children with a verbal pr

Foresight has been increasingly acknowledged as a valuable policy-making process. It has evolved from informing policies about key technological fields that would be of outmost importance in the future to (re)orienting and opening up policies towards societal needs. The wide application of foresight would benefit from a common evaluation and assessment framework that hardly exists today. This would facilitate the identification of good practices irrespective of case-specific objectives while it would also allow for benchmarking and coordination of policies for socio-economic development.

D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Political Science, 2008.<br>"February 2008."<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 235-248).<br>This main question in this dissertation is under what conditions government agencies show foresight in formulating strategies for managing emerging technologies. A secondary question is when they are capable of adaptation. Conventional wisdom and most organization theory literature suggest that organizations are reactive rather than proactive, reluctant to change, and responsive only to threats to their core mission or autonomy.

Abstract:
Cette thèse se concentre sur la relation difficile mais riche entre les scénarios et les visions dans les processus de prospective. Grâce à une analyse fondée sur quatre études de cas, sur une recherche documentaire approfondie et sur l'expérience personnelle, elle vise à mettre en lumière ce que nous appellerons la "boîte noire", soit le lieu où les interactions entre ces deux instruments se produisent. Soutenue par une approche constructiviste, elle explore les champs théoriques des scénarios et des visions, élargissant de façon sélective l’analyse aux concepts de "possibilité" et "volonté".

Abstract:
The study of foresight methodology has traditionally focused on the anticipation and development of future scenarios. It is somewhat surprising that, despite the impact that the advice generated with foresight may have had on Research and Innovation(R&I) policy action, the analysis of the process whereby foresight actually creates policy recommendations has so far been ignored in the literature. This thesis explores this process, trying to identify those elements that have a greater influence in the final advice characteristics. The research draws on the study of two European cases, which are

Abstract:
Men and organizations always tried to imagine their future. In 424 BC, Herodotus claimed the importance of vision and planning for the future: “Nothing stays the same, and those who do not want to grow, will soon be overtaken by those that want it! If you do not plan for the future in a realistic way, the alternative looks terribly bleak.” How we imagine our technological, economic and social future? How does the market move? What are the tastes of consumers? What will happen in the next 5-10 years? How do we develop scenarios into new products or services? If you want to steer through th

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil))--Stellenbosch University, 2010.<br>It is broadly accepted that our post-modern society is characterised by unprecedented levels of change, coupled with increasing complexity and uncertainty. In this context, the ability to successfully anticipate and adapt to changing circumstances is crucial for an organisation‟s survival and prosperity. Long-standing traditional models of organising, managing and knowing, as well as many contemporary formulations, are found to be inadequate in dealing with the challenges of high-velocity change. This study conducts a conceptual review of the

Abstract:
The aim of the Science Foresight Project was to design and assess a simple, objective and cost-effective technique to gather information about emerging short and long-term research developments, primarily in the physical and engineering sciences. International experts were objectively chosen using co-citation patterns in scientific and technical literature, and were invited to submit their predictions about emerging developments in their research fields. They were questioned about how the effects of various factors and driving forces might affect their predictions. The cost and time required t
